Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Precision Strip Companies
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Precision Strip
Companies (the Company) as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the
related combined statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the combined financial position of Precision Strip Companies
at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and year
ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

prior to establishing customer credit limits and reviews customer credit
profiles on a continuous basis.
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is determined,
based upon specific identification. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $600

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company in estimating the fair value of financial instruments used the
following methods and assumptions:
Cash and cash equivalents - the amounts reported approximate market
value.
Trust assets - the amounts reported are at market value. Market
values are based on quoted market prices.
Long-term obligations - the amounts reported are at a carrying
value, which approximates market value. Market values are determined
using similar debt instruments currently available to the Company
that are consistent with the terms, interest rates and maturities.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
2. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS AND GUARANTEES
